Over two million women bow down countless times each night as they pick up waste and refuse in Indian cities, working through unhygienic conditions to keep India clean, earning a meager pay while their efforts go unnoticed. In this short film by actor and filmmaker Divyang Thakkar, we follow the story of children living in the slums in Ahmedabad, India and their acts of kindness and service as they recognize the selfless work done by these women. The film explores the thread linking the virtue of bowing in humility and the routine of bowing which these women undergo countless times while rag-picking.
